Summary: 


As I recall, the name of the program was Ark II.  I recall the major
character being Keir Dullea, but I think that is wrong.  One enduring
memory I have of that program was the computer interface.  The computer
appeared to have stayed up even though the world tumbled down around
it.  Terminals were distributed all over the 'Ark'.  The interface was
a video of a beared man, saying over and over again, "May I help you?",
with strong emphasis on the "help".  It was exactly the kind of
man-machine interface one might dream of.
